Norriton Fire Engine

We are a volunteer organization made up of your neighbors. Our members serve in various roles. Most of our volunteers are firefighters, but others serve in roles such as fire police and administrative positions. Our members come from many diverse backgrounds with one common desire, to help others.

This is the time of day when most of our volunteers are at work and are not able to respond. These township employees supplement the few volunteers that are able to respond on weekdays. Evenings and weekends continue to be covered by 100% volunteers. We operate out of two stations, which help give us a quicker response to all parts of the township. We have several pieces of apparatus consisting of: a Tower Ladder, a Squad (Rescue/Engine), an Engine, a Quin t (Ladder/Engine), an Air/Light Truck, a Utility Truck, a Command Vehicle, and a Fire Police Van, as well as a Structural Collapse Trailer and a Foam Trailer. The company has weekly training at the station on Monday nights to keep our skills honed in addition to members participating in numerous hours of training outside of the station. The Norriton Fire Engine Company has been recognized by the Fire Commissioner's Office of Pennsylvania for our firefighters being trained and certified for firefighting. Our members not only have the basic training, but strive to obtain higher levels of training, all on a volunteer basis. We have members certified both at the state and national levels for many firefighting and rescue disciplines. Besides the Montgomery County Fire Academy, our members receive training from the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy, National Fire Academy, PA Department of Health, PA and Federal ...Read More
